When police arrived on the scene, "it was apparent that all parties had departed," but they were "told by witnesses that four dark coloured vehicles were seen departing the area at a high rate of speed immediately after the sounds of gunshots."

The latest shooting occurred Wednesday afternoon around 1:30 p.m. Witnesses heard shots that had been fired near 132nd Street and 80th Avenue. No victim has been located yet.
